Sažetak
The paper describes a diesel engine quasi- dimensional numerical model, implemented in a previously developed 0D model. The presented model uses direct solution to the conservation equations set for cylinder pressure and zone temperatures without numerical iterations which are customary in these models. Numerical model validation was performed on a four-stroke diesel engine at four operating points. After successful validation, modifications were implemented in the numerical model allowing the simulation of a marine two- stroke diesel engine. It is important to emphasize that the simulation model logic remained unchanged. The only significant differences are the changes in the engine working processes and different calculation of the engine operating parameters which are characteristic of two-stroke engines. The results of the diesel engine simulations using the quasi- dimensional model were compared to the test-bed measurements of the two-stroke engine found in available literature. Good agreement between the measurements and the simulation results for the two-stroke engine has been obtained. The developed quasi-dimensional numerical model can accurately predict operating parameters of the four-stroke and the two- stroke diesel engine.
